Highlights

  • Walking Wake and Iron Leaves return as Five-Star Tera Raid Bosses
  • Event runs from April 25 to May 5, 2024
  • Players can earn Tera Shards, EXP Candies, and valuable items from battles

Following a pause in Tera raid events, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have announced the comeback of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves as Dive-star Tera raid bosses. These elusive Pokemon last made an appearance in the 2023 winter holiday season, offering players another shot at capturing them.

Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are among the rarest Paradox Pokemon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Walking Wake will be exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet, while Iron Leaves will be found in Pokemon Violet. Trainers will need to collaborate through trades or online raid battles to catch the Pokemon from the opposite version. These Paradox Pokemon, inspired by Suicune and Virizion, possess formidable abilities like Protosynthesis and Quark Drive to enhance their attacks. They each belong to a trio, with Walking Wake accompanied by Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt, and Iron Leaves by Iron Crown and Iron Boulder.

According to Serebii.net, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will feature in Five-Star Tera raid battles from Thursday, April 25, 8:00 PM Eastern, until Sunday, May 5, 7:59 PM Eastern. This event follows Meganium the Unrivaled's recent appearance as a seven-star Tera raid boss. Walking Wake will be a Water type, while Iron Leaves will possess Tera-Psychic attributes. The battle will kick off with Sunny Day and Electric Terrain to activate their abilities and heighten their attack prowess.
